ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.
The "Intelligencer' Pleads Not Guilty to
an Indictment Founded on Facts.

The .IuteLigencer', Pleads Not Guilty TO
au Indictment Founded on Facts.
The IRteUfgencer took occasion, yesterday
morning, to Indignantly and editOrially
deny that its reportorial force, or any
member thereof, was engaged, last Friday
afternoon, in the particularly small bust
ness of crowding veteran soldiers from the
straight path beneath the Cleveland ban
ner over into the gutter on the west side
of Market street. This plea of not guilty
was expected. 1t is the usual and natural
reply of defendants to the indictment
brought against them. But the denial
has nothing : o do with the facts as they APP
peared to witnesses of the acts charged.
The editor of the InteHigencer admits his
men were at the spot indicated by the
REGISTER, but pleads that lie had reason
to believe there vas going to be a scene,
and that they were there to report what
took place. He is right about believing
there would be = scene; the Hteuigenccr
people were very early i'll possession of that
knowledge; but the assertion that the six
or seven mteligencey men present were de-
tailed to write up that prospective diff
Guilty has caused a general smile. The
force was too bigfor the size oftheitem, aud
aside from the testimony of eye-witnesses
of what subsequently took place, the con-
clusion would be irresistible that the Ge-
tail of two-thirds of the writing force of the
Intelliqeneer was made with a purpose
somewhat at variance with the usual
reportorial routine. In other words, the
reporters were first to help make the item,
aud then one of them was to write 1T up;
and the editor of the InteLigencer was close
by to see that the scheme worked.
The denial of the InteHigcncer yesterday
brought many witnesses to the surface who
insisted that the original statement OF the
REGISTER was true. During the day at
least a dozen we'll known gentlemen called
at this office and stated that not only had
the IRtehigeHcer reporters, Plttsburg con-
tingent and ali, been active i'll crOwdlng
themselves and others over to the west
side of the street, thus throwing the sol
diers out of line, but that they had cheered
Justify as each organization trailed its flag
and passed along the gutter to the west OF
the banner, and also that they had Missed
the Union Veteran Legion as they went
under the flag. The plea of not guilty is
natural, but it has not much value in view
of the evidence at hand.

WANTED to Cremate His Wife.

James Rine was arraigned before Justice
Arkle yesterday upon two charges of as
sault and battery upon his wife, Hannah.
The first assault was made last Monday,
the Odd, when this model husband beat
and cuffed his wife in n most outrageous
manner James kept this pleasant
amusement up during the week, and was
rapidly making life a burden for Mrs.
Rine. Finally the thing became 50 I'M
bearahle, that a warrant was sworn out
before Justice Ankle for his arrest. The
Squire and a constable ven out to Rine's
residence near Mt. De Chantal, and about
| o'clock Saturday morning arrived, Just
in the nick of time. Jimmy had set fire
to q lot of his wife's clothing, contained in
q clothes press, and leaving his house and
better half TO be cremated, had gone out
in the yard at "a safe distance and calmly
gone TO sleep. The Justice aud those
with him put out the fire and Jimmy was
hunted up and put under arrest.
Yesterday afternoon he was given a
hearing by Justice Arkle, and fined s.
and costs and so and costs respectively
upon two charges. In default the defend
ent was committed to Jail. 1t was a clear
case OF too much booze and a bad temper,
but it came very near resulting in q ter
rible tragedy.

The case of Charles Boggs, charged by
James A. Wood with robbing him of about
seven dollars, on the night of Tuesday
last, the first day of the Reunion, was
called before Justice Arkle, yesterday
afternoon nj , o'clock. The robbery was
alleged to have taken place in alley c, near
Eleventh street. Wood is a &. A. K. man,
belonging to Silver Hill, Wetzel county,
and seems to have been under the iDtlu-
ence of liquor at the time. He fell into
the hands of the Philistines in the alley
aud was done up. He squealed murder
police" &c, and George Ricketts,, of the
Hope Hose Company, and Others IAN to his
aid, lie was taken TO the hose house, and
washed of, when he WAS found TO have q
cut on his face and another on the back of
his head. His purse, empty, was found
lying in the alley near where he was
slugge6. The testimony of the witnesses
fixed the crime on Boggs, and the Justice
held him in default of $500 for his appear
ance at court.

A nra EVENT.
The State Fair TO be Held on a Grand Scale
This Year.


IA Year.
The West Virginia State Fair opens on
Monday next, September 9Th, and will con-
time five days. All preliminary work
connected with the big event has been
pretty well disposed of, and everything is
in ~ship-shape to put the exhibition into
operation. 1t is thought by some people
that the reunion Just held viii have a bad
effect on the fair, but such will not be the
case. People who attend reunions are not
always attracted to a fair, and in nine
cases out of ten if they are, they will at
tend both, while those who have prepared
to come to see the fair would not change
their minds by attending the reunion in
stead, and the attendance will go beyond
that OF any previous fair.
The finest exposition the association has
ever given, will be the one this year, and If
the people want to see it, it will be there
Just for that purpose.
The speed entries closed last evening,
and the list embraces some Of the best
horses in the country. Mr.. George Salade
will be home from Columbus to-day with
a number of entries for this department,
which were secured previous to yesterday.
The list, when complete, will no doubt ex-
cell any previous year and the patrons or
the Fair are assured ofsome fine races. There
will be several more running races this
wear, and some of the best running horses
in the country have been entered for them,
so all may look ont for a perfect success IN
the speed department. And this can be
truly said of every other department.
The Ohio State fair at Columbus is going
on, and Messrs. Jacobs and SissOn left for
there yesterday to give the Wheeling fair
a boom. 1t will be remembered that last
year our exhibition eelipsed that Of
Columbus in every respect, and the fact
that it will be even larger this year Is sufh'
Gent evidence Of what w are to see.
Col. VIM. Exley has had a force oftwenty'
five men working on the grounds ~sinceSatur'
day, and the enclosure and all the buildings
are being put in first class shape for the
coming event. The work will be com
pleted to-day and everything will be in
readiness for the exhibitors to put in theil
displays. The main hall has beer
thoroughly cleaned and the floor scrubbed
out and will be ready to receive exhibitors
after this evening. Col. Exley will be or
the grounds every day from ga. m. till
p. m, and any information concerning TIT
exhibits can be secured from him. Those
who intend making displays should begir
as early as possible, so that they all may
be completed in ample time.

A WATERLOO.
THE CANTON SLUGGERS MEET A CRUSHING
DEFEAT.
The Aaroons Pound The Ball at a Lively Rate
Dunn Does Great Work In The
Box and al Tho Bat

A good crowd assembled on the grounds
yesterday to see the Wheeling team mfict
q disastrous overthrow upon the crack
Canton team. The Cantons have been
downing everything in the League. Al
though not in the championship race their
average is higher than that Of any other
Ohio League team.
Sanders, their giant pitcher, wa in the
box for the Cantonese aud most people
predicted an easy victory for them. But
the visitors run against a stumbling block
in our only Dunn. They were totally I'M
able to fathom the deep mystery OF those
deceptive curves. Only four hits and 4
phantom were made of of his delivery.
Ten men struck out. Such a record as
this is n that any pitcher might feel
proud OF. The Cantons have stood up be-
fore some of the best pitchers Of the Ohio
League and with these opponents have won
the reputation of sluggers. They were
completely at Dunn's mercy, and it is not
too much to say that he won the game.
The Maroons took kindly to Sanders de-
livery, batting him for nine hits with a total
of twenty. Dunn led in the batting for the
Maroons having two tremendous home
run drives to her credit. Nichol started
the scoring by q clean home run hit in the
first inning, after two men were out. Dunn
pounded out another in the fourth. Hard
hitting and timely errors in the sixth and
ninth innings added six more runs to the
score. Canton earned its only run in the
first on q base hit and errors by the home
team. In the fourth inning Umpire Bells
pantaloons were knocked out and a sub
stitute was allowed. The score is given
below in full.

A Slick Confidence Game.

A very slick and original method of I'M
lawfully raising q stake WAS perpetrated
yesterday on the South Side, the victim
reporting the matter to the police, who are
at work on the case. As detailed at police
headquarters last night, it seems that yes
terday morning a stranger called on Rev.
William Ulfert, the pastor of st. Johns
church, and asked him to recommend q
man for q responsible position on the b. &
o. road. Mr.. Ulfert suggested the name
of Earnest Barte, who lives in Alley F,
below T~wenty-sixth street, and the stran-
ger left. A little later in the day he called
at Mr.. Barte's residence, and was met by
that gentleman's wife. He told the lady
that there was a good position awaiting
her husband on the railroad, but that she
must advance s. TO pay for his insurance
papers, &c. After some delay the cash was
handed over, when the stranger said he
must have Mr.. Barte's watch, as it had to
be regulated, and that he could yet it when
he went to work. The watch changed
hands likewise, when the stranger left.
On being acquainted with what had been
done Mr.. Barte made some enquiries, and
being convinced that ne had been done up,
applied to Chief Smith. The latter made
enquiries of the b. & o. railroad people,
but found they knew nothing of the stran-
ger.
